I was working on a recipe for macaroni and cheese this week so that dominated my cooking. We did make two pots of soup, double our goal. We had two hambones in the freezer and wanted to reduce that by one. This didn’t save space because we froze 2 quarts of the soup for later. Sweet potato were on the original menu but we found early artichokes on sale so we’ll have the tubers next week.
Last week's menu:
Monday
- Lemon chicken orzo soup (a similar recipe here) The beautiful wife suggested this soup; it was good.
- Salad
Tuesday
- Skip’s Macaroni and Cheese (recipe here)
- Salad
- Dessert: ice cream with strawberries
Wednesday
- Skip’s Macaroni and Cheese (yes again, working on the recipe)
- Salad
- Dessert: pulled my oatmeal-chocolate chip and walnut cookies from the freezer and enjoyed the with a little vanilla ice cream
Thursday
- Steamed artichoke (on sale at Sprouts, couldn't resist)
- Beth’s Vegetarian Enchiladas (leftovers)
Friday
- Split Pea Soup with Hambone, recipe here (needed to use the leftover hambone in the freezer)
- Salad
Please comment: What seasonal favorite are you excited to have on your menu this week?
